Autogain/ceiling setting for saturn
Was having a mess around with cl36 (www.jovankoncar.com/j1000/) on drums to tame transients and was thinking that Saturn could do achieve this effect using the softsat mode.
However, driving individual bands in Saturn increases the gain rather than bringing the distortion "ceiling" down. It would be really handy to have some sort of "autogain" toggle which allows you to dial in ceiling rather than drive for this style of multiband processing, perhaps it could make it into the planned updates?

Auto Gain Compensation should be on every plugin
We've put a lot of effort into automatically compensating the gain added by the Drive knob in Saturn. However, the result totally depends on the loudness of the input signal. We've tuned it for an average loudness but it's impossible to do it for all input signals without using some kind of automatic leveling which would introduce audible compression.
Cheers,
